New Note 11/11/05:

I have also picked up Paul Biglow (no e again) in the 1880
Solomon Cloud Co KS census with wife and children.
BIGLOW
Paul 40 NY NY CT laborer
Mary C 29 IL PA IN
James 10 IA NY IL
Millard 5 IA NY IL
This James and Millard are given to be the brothers Jess or
Jesse. So it all fits. Problem- I've looked and looked to find a
Mary Gustus or Mary Bigelow or Biglow in the state census
for IA, KS, NE... and in the federal census IA, NE, KS in both
1900 and 1910 and have not yet found anyone. This seems odd. Maybe
we are misreading the Gustus name??? or the family is split up
because Paul died??? Not sure.... will have to keep looking. Did
located Millard Begelow in 1900 Belle Parairie Fillmore Co
NE... wife Clara son Dewitt... also found them in later census
1910 Sharon Springs Wallace co, KS and 1920 Payette Payette Co ID.
Had a dead end on James, the older brother. Jesse apparently had a
first wife named Nettie (WWI Draft Card) then was listed as
widowed in the 1920... other researches give his 2nd wife as
Judith Peterson which fits with the 1930 Council Bluff
Pottawattamie Co IA census.
